| don sach's custom kt88 tube amp @wig My Kootenay 120 arrived today. It has WE KT88 Plus with CV181s up front. I've had the preamp for a few weeks now. It has WE 6SN7s. It's nice to finally have both the preamp and the amp in my system.Early impressions are very favorable, to say... | |
| Phono Pre Advice Both the Herron VTPH-2 and the Allnic are excellent suggestions. I have owned both and consider them neck and neck. You should be able to find an Allnic H1201 or H1202 in your price range. I have the H1202, and it's very musical. Can't go wrong ei... | |

| Help selecting a new preamp @gryphongryph Yes, I absolutely would, both in terms of build and sound quality. These are two outstanding designers. | |
| Help selecting a new preamp @markusthenaimnut -- I wish I could give you a more detailed comparison, but I have only had the Sachs preamp for a couple of weeks and am still waiting on Don's KT88 amp--which I also ordered-- to arrive. In the meantime, I've been using a prett... | |

If I recall correctly, I think he mentioned (but not necessarily in that review) that they might indeed be coming out with a more powerf... | |
| Interconnects under 300 Check out the Acoustic BBQ cables. I've tried a ton of different cables ranging up to $2-3K over the years, and Bill's cables are competitive with anything I've had. They are also affordable. Highly recommended. I especially like his Schroeder-sty... | |
